Troubled Blood - *Spoiler-laden discussion*

[EllacottObsessive]

Setting this up for Strike and Ellacott fans to talk about spoilery things.

what lisp?? my main thought was how lovely and warm your voice is :)

Oh, I'm just being daft - I get annoyed with myself for sloppy diction and remember lots of vocal exercises in drama classes where I just couldn't quite enunciate cleanly enough. 'S a first attempt, though. It'll improve. Thank you, though. Never been told my voice is warm before.

When you go viral I want it on record that a podcast was my idea

Agreed.

Oh that was so good! Like my favourite bits of Radio 4 before it went weird. (I realise you may or may not think of this as a compliment.)

That was really good EO. I’m impressed with how quickly you took the idea and made it a reality.
I have hit the follow button :)

ooh, what an amazing podcast, and what an incredible voice you have EO. Episode 2 now please .

I'm currently rewatching the series from the beginning, to pick up on all the little bits I missed first time round, I did start with rereading the books, but then got cross with JKR for describing Strike all wrong (cos book Strike doesn't look like TB), and had to have a word with myself as I'm not a teenager on Tumblr, devastated because the Actual Author doesn't make it like in my head .

I need to spend more time on here reading the erudite literary analysis rather than google image searching Tom Burke I think....

Do both!

Btw, MyVisionsComeFromSoup - screen name related to The Musketeers at all?

I believe JKR was instrumental in having Tom Burke cast after seeing him in war & peace...a woman of infinite taste 😆

and yes indeed what’s wrong with both??

Athos......anyway let’s not go there

Verily, bless the lord for soup.

Yes, it's from watching the Musketeers on one of the wenches threads, although I was only only there because of a different actor who I'd known a long time ago .

I do want to see War and Peace though, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere to stream atm, unless anyone knows differently?

War & peace is on britbox along with the musketeers & that episode of poirot where he’s wearing a naval uniform just you know if you were interested....

ooh, and there's a deal on Britbox atm........ But, can I get it all watched before DD3 comes home from uni on Saturday otherwise she'll just take the piss

Your mission should you choose to accept it 😆😆

[quote EllacottObsessive]Ok, that was quicker than I expected. It's on Spotify, prepare to be astonished at my lack of technical ability or presentation skills....

Love it, EO!

Well, if I didn't do much work next week, I could maybe fit it all in, especially since Bake Off is finished 😂

It will be an enormous travail for you. Can I also recommend the second series of The Hour if you have Amazon Prime? Quite fabulous.

I must stop fangirling but the hour was the first time I was “hello!”

I think the best line is 'I can be very persuasive when I set my heart on something'

I believe it, sir. I really do.

Tje hour is on britbox too

Tbh my favourite but was the angry slamming through the doors in the final episode which I may need to gif now...

Name changed in honour of this thread.

Oh wow EO, I really enjoyed your podcast. I love your voice, perfect.

Did I hear you write fanfic? Would love to read, please link to your stories.

I've just finished watching The Silkworm. I like Tom as Strike. I think he looks better with his stubble/facial hair than without (really doesn't suit him without in my opinion). He comes across as more light hearted on the show, Tom has a little smile on his lips - maybe that's just his resting face? Book Strike is much more intense for me.
